Jumpman drops the Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined this month, continuing Jordan Brandā€™s highly anticipated Spring/Summer collection of retros. This release marks the fifth time the classic Black and Red combo appears on the signature Jordan model. This specific retro is the first time a Jordan 4 has been included in the new Reimagined series. In case you missed the introduction of the series with the 2022 Air Jordan 1 Lost & Found, these releases take notable colorways from iconic silhouettes and add in new, upgraded features and/or materials to give the shoe, and the shoeā€™s story, a second life of its own. This fresh take on the fabled Jordan 4 colorway is packed with luxurious and high-end details, so whether youā€™re new to Jordan Brand or are just looking for more information on this particular drop, hereā€™s everything you need to know about the Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined.

The new Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined drops this year

Letā€™s take a step back. Itā€™s 1989 and Michael Jordan solidifies his G.O.A.T. status with a play solely known as ā€œThe Shotā€. In the Chicago Bullsā€™ 1989 first-round Playoff game against The Cleveland Cavaliers, Jordan hit a buzzer-beating shot to help the Bulls advance to the second round of the Playoffs. And what pair of shoes was Jordan wearing? Thatā€™s right, the Air Jordan 4 Bred.Ā 

ā€œThe Shotā€ not only showed the world the star power of Michael Jordan but also put the Jordan 4 Bred on the proverbial map as one of the most iconic sneakers of all time.

Since then, the Air Jordan 4 Bred has continued to be one of the most coveted colorways and silhouettes in the sneaker community and pop culture at large. Itā€™s been retroed five different times, each with a different look and feel, but 2024ā€™s upcoming drop is the Bredā€™s most eccentric look yet.

Since 2022, Jordan Brand has reintroduced some of their most legendary colorways with an added twist thanks to their Reimagined series. The Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined release is the first Jordan 4 model to get this updated treatment. This new retro brings back the Jordan 4 colorway in a near-perfect shape to its 1989 originator, adding a more angular, slope-like form to the model. The upper swaps out the usual nubuck with high-quality tumbled leather thatā€™s soft to the touch. Lastly, the popular Nike Air heel tab brings a nostalgic feel to the new Bred 4s.Ā 

The Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined is set to drop on February 17, 2024, and retail for $215.
